Bird#

class ansys.aedt.core.modeler.advanced_cad.actors.Bird(bird_folder, speed='2.0', flapping_rate='50Hz', relative_cs_name=None)[source]#

Provides an instance of a bird.

This class is derived from ansys.aedt.core.modeler.multiparts.MultiPartComponent.

Note

Motion is always forward in the X-axis direction.

Parameters:
bird_folderstr

Full path to the directory containing the definition of the bird. This can be changed later.

speedfloat or str, optional

Speed of the bird. The default is "2.0".

flapping_ratefloat or str, optional

Flapping rate. The default is "50Hz".

relative_cs_namestr, optional

Name of the relative coordinate system of the actor. The default is``None``, in which case the global coordinate system is used.

Methods

Insert the bird in HFSS SBR+.

Bird.position_in_app(app)

Set up design variables and values to enable motion for the multi-part 3D component.

Bird.start(app)

Initialize app for SBR+ simulation.
